Influence mechanism and realization pathway for community common prosperity of national parks:A case study of Shennongjia National Park
Promoting community common prosperity is an important aspect of the high-quality development of national parks and the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.This paper employs actor network theory and path dependence theory,using Shennongjia National Park as a case study,to analyze the process of community common prosperity and reveal its influence mechanism and realization pathway.The results show that:(1)The community common pros-perity of Shennongjia National Park has gone through a developmental stage,evolving from"initially exploring community common prosperity based on the management system reform"to"comprehensively promoting community common prosperity based on the ecological indus-try system".The government and national park administration continue to play a key role,while the influence of rural elites diminishes and the role of tourism enterprises strengthens.The connection between villagers and actors deepens,and cultural tourism resources,along with ecological industries,gradually unleash stronger effects.(2)The community common pros-perity of Shennongjia National Park is the result of the interplay and collaboration between hu-man actors and non-human actors.The attributes of non-human actors are the foundation,the identification of the problem by key actors is the core,the participation of villagers in stimulat-ing endogenous motivation is the key,and the competition of interests among heterogeneous ac-tors is the driving force.(3)Community common prosperity of national parks is gradually strengthened along a certain path due to the influence of internal and external factors,forming a realization pathway for"generation-creation-locking-unlocking".The emergence of issues and policy opportunities trigger pathway generation;recruitment and mobilization drive pathway creation;difficult-to-reconcile disagreements lead to pathway locking;and innovative develop-ment facilitates path unlocking.It is necessary to promote the realization of community com-mon prosperity by mastering the fundamental laws of pathway evolution,scientifically and ef-fectively identifying problems,actively mobilizing villagers to participate in the whole process,and fostering the spirit of creativity and digital thinking.This paper provides a theoretical foun-dation and practical insights for the high-quality development of national parks and community common prosperity.
